|
|
FS 446 - Food Process Automation
|
|
|
Practical and descriptive aspects of automatic control of food manufacturing processes.
Use of control systems simulation; tuning of control loops; sensors; data acquisition and transmission;
simple statistical process control. Students will have hands-on experience in the pilot lab. This course
is offered by the CIFM for food science and food manufacturing operations majors. |

FS 654 - Food Processing and Packaging, Thermal Processing
|
|
|
This section of the Food Processing and Packaging course covers the heat transfer mechanisms and unit operations
involved in the thermal processing and preservation of foods. Emphasis is placed on the mathematical and experimental
studies that incorporate science and engineering principles to solve thermal processing problems. The role of U.S.
government regulations in thermal processing is also discussed. |
